The steam deck is hands down the most interesting piece of tech (outside of modern smart phones). It's wild I've been able to get Fallout 3 mods working in the crazy windows proton boot shells that just magically worked.
Waving a Nazi flag should be a flight to Dachau and experiencing a full 12 months the --exact-- same way it used to be.
Arbeit macht frei.
I've been hearing this since 2010. Nothing is going to change.
EA Sports 2024 is going to come out, it's going to have 40,000 mixed reviews.
Let go of that thought. Reddit is (probably) here to stay. Lemmy will have less users, less communities, and tbh, probably less quality content. That's okay. Grow your seeds.
We might have to accept we're on the "losing" side, e.g. Lemmy will never have the numbers our subreddits had. We'll have smaller communities and less content, but hopefully better conversation.
With Nintendo, I feel like it's almost impossible to know which way they're going to innovate - but in hindsight it's all so clear. Really the only claim we can almost bet for is they're not going to compete in the graphical fidelity market.
Someone literally hacked my account and bot posting for cryptocurrency. I requested account recovery from Twitter and it all just went to hell after that. The process was bizarre. Repeated instructions for steps I already finished, the entire process starting from scratch, no replies.
So my account is out there now, doing who knows what. Congrats, it's a bot.
Ah, in less than 48 hours we've come full circle.
What beautiful dawns await us.
We went on a run, then swam in the ocean, then I gave this gift at the end!
WE made the content. The community. No doubt the majority of level-headed folk would have accepted ad requirements in 3rd party apps. Hosting isn't free, something needs to be monetized.
But that's not what it's about. It's about locking down content from the new wave of AI models and charging for it. Charging for content we created freely to be shared.
I'm looking for baking, woodworking, and diablo4. Point em out of you know em
I'm in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
The great thing is, now you're 100% empowered to move forward and host the responsibility yourself. Demanding volunteers shoulder potential liability (when you yourself admit you can't understand how there's any in the first place) is juvenile.
The moment a volunteer is hit with a DMCA notice or any threat of legal action, you think they have any interest in going through the court system? You can do it first.
